NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: The Department of the Interior is cutting 43 partnerships with outside groups it says no longer align with the Trump administration’s priorities, eliminating more than $4 million in planned funding for programs tied to DEI, environmental justice and support services for illegal immigrants.
Led by Secretary Doug Burgum, the department determined the agreements were «operating in direct opposition» to its mission, according to a press release obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital.
«Under Secretary Burgum, the Department of the Interior is ending partnerships with groups that no longer represent the priorities of the American people,» the department said. In response, DOI said it is terminating all agreements with the identified groups and removing references to them from its websites.
The terminated agreements supported internship programs, conservation initiatives, research projects and cooperative partnerships.

A department-wide review launched in March uncovered nearly 3,000 active agreements with about 2,000 outside groups, ranging from NGOs and nonprofits to private entities and educational institutions.
The review later found multiple groups «did not appear to provide a clear benefit» or «did not align with the department’s mission,» according to the department.

Among the groups targeted were the Hispanic Access Foundation, which offers scholarships for illegal immigrant Latino students, and Latino Outdoors, which the department said provided instructions on avoiding detention by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Latino Outdoors has advocated against oil and gas development, while the Hispanic Access Foundation has worked with the National Park Service «to conduct a variety of educational and cultural support activities,» according to the department.
The department cited the American Alliance of Museums, which it said had a contract with the NPS to build DEI programs across national parks as part of the agency’s Community Engagement initiative. The department pointed to the group’s previous Facing Change initiative, which promoted DEI efforts at museums.

Conservation International, an environmental group that the department said advocates for a «total phase out of fossil fuels,» was also flagged. The department noted the organization’s statements describing fossil fuels as the «leading culprit» of planet-warming carbon emissions, as well as its support for environmental justice and equity-focused climate policies.
Another group on the department’s list was The Cultural Landscape Foundation, which it said has a master cooperative agreement with the NPS «to conduct a variety of educational and cultural support activities.» The organization has opposed several administration initiatives, including suing over changes at the Kennedy Center, criticizing plans for a White House ballroom and highlighting cultural landscapes and historic sites it says are threatened by administration actions through its Landslide 2026: Erasing American History initiative.

«Under President Trump and Secretary Burgum, the Department of the Interior is taking decisive action to ensure its partnerships and resources support the priorities of this administration and the interests of the American people,» Matthew Middleton, principal deputy communications director and director of research, told Fox News Digital.
«As part of that commitment, the Department is ending relationships with organizations whose advocacy for phasing out baseload energy, defunding law enforcement services, and promoting racially preferential programs directly conflicts with this administration’s priorities. Interior will continue to invest in partnerships that expand access to public lands, promote responsible stewardship, and deliver tangible benefits to the American people.»
Fox News Digital reached out to the Hispanic Access Foundation, Latino Outdoors, the American Alliance of Museums, Conservation International and the Cultural Landscape Foundation for comment.
Other groups the DOI is cutting ties with include: The Green Schools Alliance, Doris Duke Foundation, Hispanic Access Foundation, National Wildlife Federation, California Native Plant Society, American Alliance of Museums, Clean Ocean Action and the National Geographic Society.
The move is the latest in a series of administration actions, including efforts to roll back DEI initiatives, strengthen immigration enforcement and expand energy development. The department said it will ensure future partnerships align with the agency’s mission.

ICE surges enforcement, makes 10,000 arrests in five days amid Supreme Court birthright citizenship decision
DHS Secretary Mullin criticizes Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship ruling
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin voices his strong disagreement with the Supreme Court’s ruling to uphold birthright citizenship. Mullin contends that the decision, which President Trump opposed, is ‘dead wrong,’ highlighting the national security risks posed by ‘birth tourism,’ primarily from China. He explains how foreign nationals exploit the system for citizenship, undermining U.S. security.

FIRST ON FOX: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is ramping up arrests as a Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship delivered a blow to the Trump administration’s efforts to curb immigration policy.
Fox News Digital obtained figures from a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) source that showed more than 10,000 arrests have been made in the last five days alone.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court rejected President Donald Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship, upholding the long-standing policy that most children who are born in the U.S. will automatically become citizens, even if the child’s parents are living in the country illegally.

A source familiar with ICE operations said the agency is currently ramping up operations using funds from the One Big Beautiful Bill as the passage of the legislation nears its one-year anniversary.
The court cited the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution as the basis for the decision, saying «Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause.»
Trump punched back at the ruling, urging Congress to amend the Constitution to pave a path to abolishing birthright citizenship.

«No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary! Congress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship,» Trump posted on Truth Social. «They will have my Complete and Total Support!»
As ICE seeks to increase arrests, agitators have been mobilizing across the country, demanding better living conditions for those detained in federal facilities and calling for reforms to ICE operational protocols.
In late May, agitators flooded the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey, in a violent clash between rioters and ICE agents alongside local law enforcement officers.

A Fox News Digital investigation, based on reporting from the ground in Newark, in secret Signal group chats, a number of tax filings, strategy documents, and social media posts, found that the protests outside Delaney Hall were not a spontaneous grassroots uprising. Instead, they were the product of years of coordinated planning by a network of well-funded, highly organized groups that used a local controversy as a platform to challenge federal immigration policies and, more broadly, the United States.
The network behind the Delaney Hall protests includes about 100 groups, some of them big names like the ACLU, Indivisible and Democratic Socialists of America. Together, these organizations report collective annual revenues of about $825 million, approximately equal to the annual budget of Newark.

Despite the organized resistance, ICE operations continued, and DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement that a majority of arrests involve illegal migrants who have previously been charged or convicted of a crime.

«Since Day One, DHS law enforcement has been delivering on President Trump’s promise to the American people to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens including murderers, rapists, pedophiles, gang members, and terrorists,» Bis explained.
«Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S. More than 3 million illegal aliens are out of the country and counting. Our message is clear: if you come to our country illegally, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will deport you,» she added.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., has a plan to snuff out a multibillion-dollar global industry.
Scott is one of several Republicans racing to ram birthright citizenship tweaks through Congress after the Supreme Court’s bombshell ruling blocking the Trump administration’s effort to limit the right and President Donald Trump’s call for lawmakers to quickly respond.
Despite an increasingly crowded field of legislation, Scott argued in an interview with Fox News Digital that his approach to halt birth tourism could work, even with Democrats.

«The whole concept of the 14th Amendment, that ‘under the jurisdiction thereof,’ if you are on vacation in America, you certainly should not have a child while you’re here and think in any way, shape or form that kid is going to somehow, some way be an American citizen,» Scott said.
«That’s just illogical. I would just say look at it from the mirror perspective,» he continued. «If you did that in any other country, would that child in that country become a citizen of that country? The answer is no.»
Scott’s legislation, which is still being drafted, would target tourism visas and any child born in the U.S. to a woman with said visa from becoming an American citizen.

His legislation is «designed specifically to get to the president’s desk to sign into law,» a tacit acknowledgment that in the Senate, he will need Democratic support to put a dent into the issue.
«That means that Democrats cannot have any opposition to this notion that thousands of companies having hundreds of thousands of women come to this country to have a baby so that they leave with an American citizen,» Scott said.
«We should break that whole cycle, destroy it in its infancy by not allowing it to exist at all,» he continued. «And that to me is the best approach.»

Trump said he would prefer legislation over a «long and unwieldy» constitutional amendment, which has been floated by a handful of Senate Republicans, including Sens. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., and Rand Paul, R-Ky.
Tackling the 14th Amendment completely is something Scott said he’d do, but he acknowledged that it’s not «possible in the current political environment.»
«What is possible is for us to recognize that if you’re here temporarily, and you know you’re here temporarily, you should not leave with an American citizen as your child just because you gave birth on our soil,» Scott said.
Meanwhile, in the House, there’s another approach led by Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn.
Ogles, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, unveiled legislation Wednesday that would allow the government to bar pregnant foreigners from entering the United States.

The Tennessee Republican says the measure, dubbed the Anchors Away Act, is necessary to crack down on the birth tourism industry, in which foreigners give birth on U.S. soil so that their children obtain U.S. citizenship.
However, the legislation faces steep obstacles to clearing Congress, and it is unclear whether the bill would get a floor vote in the House amid Republicans’ razor-thin majority.
«This is a conversation that I’m starting that I’m a champion of,» Ogles told Fox News Digital in an interview. «I’m working with the White House. And as long as it takes to get it done, I’ll be here to fight for it.»

Ogles has also authored the Assimilation Act, legislation that would impose vast changes to the legal immigration system by ending birthright citizenship, requiring employers to implement E-Verify and scrapping the green-card lottery, among other provisions. The Tennessee lawmaker’s recently introduced Remigration Act would allow the government to denaturalize individuals convicted of certain crimes, including defrauding the government.
«What we’ve seen over the last several decades is that Congress, quite frankly, has delegated its right to legislate to the Supreme Court,» Ogles said. «So this actually creates the opportunity for Congress to do its job. To define what it is to be a naturalized citizen, to define who can and cannot come into this country, because as the legislative body, we are the ones that are supposed to make those decisions.»
